Inpatients´ utilization of GP and psychiatric outpatient care. A comparison of a central-institution versus a local-institution based system of psychiatry. A case-register study
Introduction: The deinstitutionalization of psychiatry has in its essence been a downsizing of central psychiatric institutions in favor of outpatient- and community-based services. ‘Continuity of care’ has been a key concept from the onset in these ever more complex systems, both used as a measure...

Introduction: The deinstitutionalization of psychiatry has in its essence been a downsizing of central psychiatric institutions in favor of outpatient- and community-based services. ‘Continuity of care’ has been a key concept from the onset in these ever more complex systems, both used as a measure of outcome and processes as well as a strategic priority (1). Recent research advocates systems that facilitate continuous clinical relationships between patients and clinicians rather than collaboration between specialized teams, but findings are limited (2-4).At the same time, the international literature has seen an increasing interest of the General Practitioners` (GP) role in the care of mental health patients, and underlines the need for integration of primary care and psychiatric services (5, 6).
